Story starters are sentences or phrases that help students get started writing a short story or paragraph. Many, but not all, relate to the month or season (e.g., " My favorite winter sport is..." ). On any given day, a teacher can go to the calendar, turn over the piece for the day, and find a ready-made writing assignment.

Teachers who buy all 12 sets not only have calendar days for the whole year, but also have dozens of writing ideas. 36 per pack.
